Thought your comment on helicopter rides to the summit of Everest was interesting so I looked it up, only 1 person has ever achieved it (twice) and set the world record in doing so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didier_

They call this "health tourism" and its a fairly regular subject that comes up whenever NHS budgets are discussed, in reality though I believe latest figures put it at about £300m /year (0.3% of the NHS budget). I don't

I've worked a 6 month contract before, 3 months would have been ideal I think as after that it was starting to drag on a bit but I don't see many contracts that short. Unfortunately the company didn't really utilise my time v

What do you do with the other 9 months of the year? side projects? travel? Id be interested to hear how your lifestyle is with all the free time. I've considered this approach myself too but more 6 months on, 6 months off. Scala in par

$10k MRR in 3 months seems like a lofty goal to me. Is that from product launch? or from day 0? with or without investment?

When you say for clientside you would want to stick to the full Visual Studio IDE, do you mean web clientside or clientside as in traditional desktop apps? If you did mean web clientside could you expand on that?

Not the person you asked but I also develop .NET Core on a mac. I like .NET because I can use C# which is my favourite language, and the new ASP.NET Core framework is very clean, modern and straight to the point. There's very little ma

I'm considering this too, Windows 10 still has some annoying UI inconsistencies but its getting there, and with the Ubuntu subsystem its viable for Linux based dev's without setting up a VM. I mean technically its closer to my tar

Coming from macOS my main issues with win10 virtual desktops were 1) the inability to save and persist my desktop configuration through reboots, 2) the inability to assign specific apps to always open on a particular desktop and 3) being ab

I think you're confusing total rendering time, as being discussed here, with server response time. I'm getting 86ms response time from the mentioned blog (from London), and 900ms total rendering time.

I'm writing an asp.net core app, my host os is macOS. I initially setup my project with yeoman which created the footprint for me, but after that I've been manually creating files. You're right that it would be nice if it wou

What features are you missing? I've been using VS Code for 4 months now on a daily basis and can't say I'm missing anything outside of some Nuget package management tools, but I'm not sure if that's available to me

Most languages have these type of functions, once you've read the file into an array its just array/list manipulation. I haven't compile checked this but here's the same as a C# one liner: List<string> lines = File

I don't really have any experience with the specifics of the deal you're trying to arrange so id only be guessing, but its essentially a licensing agreement? you're licensing the company to use your software under particular

I would recommend avoiding signing or agreeing to anything there and then, take any documentation home and think it over for a good long while before signing. If possible, have your own legal representation go over it from your side. Their

Spaces, the windows 10 version won't fill that gap for me until I can assign apps to specific spaces so that they always open there, as well as key shortcuts e.g. Ctrl 1 to go to space 1. Also remembering my setup through shutdowns. Qu

The confusion in your example was using OOP vs functional. The Area getter in my example could be a method, it just makes it slightly nicer to have it as a getter in C# for that type of thing. But, the actual getter/setter is: publ

Yep, OP is comparing apples to oranges, and there's several strange things with the example code, but a direct translation of the original Java code provided into C# is: public class Square { public double Side { get; private s

To me that sounds like you're the target market for what was the Air, or what is now the MacBook. The MacBook Pro is their top of the line and shouldn't be diminishing something as important as the keyboard which people use all da
